now what you see the white house wanting to talk about obama care every day until december 23rd. i have a suspicion you'll start seeing republicans trying to change the topic, change the subject because the president finally realizes that once americans see the product, once they go to the website which is quite beautiful if you go the site, they are going to realize that these options -- >> they fixed the front door of this site. the site is not able to give reliable information to the insurance companies that people who are desperate for coverage are signing up for. >> thousands of people are signing up every day. >> were they getting health insurance? i don't think so. until they pay that premium they are not going get their coverage until their identity is verified. we're about to hit the wall with millions of people who are desperate because they lost their coverage, they cannot get it through this website, they can't get it because this website doesn't work and they have admitted they have focused on front door not the back door. >> you both are terrific. the back door stuf

care and other issues that might affect young americans. notably absent is a representative from the national college of republicans and that because her application to attend was rejected. i am shocked, shocked at this. so, we had to ask her to come on the show. here now is alex smith, national chair of the college republicans. alex, thank you for coming on. i appreciate it. >> thanks, larry. >> let me just ask you, when you applied to this gala white house event, did the application ask you what political party you belonged to? >> it did not, but my e-mail address gave away that i worked for the college republican national committee. >> okay. but if you had gotten around that, you think you would have had a better chance of getting invited or are these all just campaign workers? >> you know, i think my theory on this is that the president has nothing left to give young people so he can't have diverse voices in the audience because there's no room for a genuine discussion on this issue. >> let's go to this issue now. you have a new poll ou

americans to shop inside the federal employees' own health business plan. i'm a former federal bureaucrat. scott, is this feasible? what are the advantages of the federal employees' health care plan? >> it's a true marketplace. you have all different kinds of plans being sold and people can actually choose the plan that they want and tailor what they want to receive. the amazing thing is that the plans are actually cheaper than the obama care plans even without the federal subsidies. if you take the list price of a plan in that system and try to compare it to a comparable obama care in the same market, you'll see that there are cheaper options in the federal plan. my argument is this, people who lost their insurance, who were kicked off their insurance, rather than forcing them into obama care, let them shop in the federal program. let them have access to a real marketplace. >> chris, thousands of plans are in this federal employees' health care plan. it's whatever consumers want, the insurers are going to provide it. it's not just like four basic plan, one

new obama care enrollment numbers out. there are still glitches everywhere apparently. steve handelsman joins us with the details. >> reporter: the website's better but it doesn't mean it's good. the nbc news estimate is that 100,000 americans in november signed up for coverage using healthcare.gov. that's a much better number than in october. but it's way worse than what a dozen or so state exchanges have signed up. today administration sources said by 5:30 p.m. eastern time, the site had 750,000 visits. it slowed down at times. some people got "please wait" messages, so-called queuing going on but no crashes or freezes. but there's the back-end problem. like amazon.com. to work, it has to kick out a command for a lightbulb to be sent to you. that's the back end. healthcare.gov has a back end that sends an 834 file to insurance companies. no one will reveal how many or what percentage. but too many of those 834 files are bad. hard to decipher? impossible to use, some of them. so people who think they have coverage on january 1st in fact might not. >> if health plans do
